WTB Software for Drake R8
I have in the past used FineWare Smart R8 Control for my R8. Mark Fine does
not sell this software anymore and I am looking to purchase a newer version of the same software, or even something else that works well with the R8. My version does not work with XP or even ME. My Smart R8 control software was purchased and registered with Fineware. I am not looking to "steal" or copy anyone's registered software, I just want to purchase it. All you bedwetting flamers, keep it to yourself. |

will this software function with Windows XP? Thanks

I did a survey a couple of years ago to find what software was available for a variety of receivers. There was not a whole lot for the Drake other than Mark Fine's RLDB and Smart R8. Since then, Mark has developed the R8 interface for the HamLib library (http://hamlib.sourceforge.net/) and an alpha level application, Smart Gnome Control, using the HamLib libraries. Any application using HamLib should work with the R8 but they seem to be mostly designed for Linux and have to be compiled from the open source code. I have compiled Dream for Windows; it has limited control of the R8 (frequency and S-meter) but it's primarily a DRM decoder and AM/SSB/CW/FM sound card IF DSP demodulator. Here's the old table, fwiw - needs updating - and has to be viewed in html.

There is a new program called RxPlus: http://www.cam.org/~noelbou/RxPlus/ that will control the R8A, R8B and many other receivers. This software not only controls your receiver but also provides audio DSP tools including demodulation of RTTY, PSK, FAX. This control program is definitely worth a look. -- Brian Denley http://home.comcast.net/~b.denley/index.html |
